A recent report by Oxfam India showed the rich accumulating a greater share of wealth in recent years, while economists like Jean Dreze have found the rest to have seen no growth in their real wages (adjusting for inflation); and the Centre for Monitoring Indian Economy has been constantly reporting increased levels of unemployment. The rich are still able to afford to vote based on issues of identity whipped up by the BJP, while the poor – forced to choose between issues of identity and welfare – are choosing the latter. This is why the ire of the rich has turned towards welfare politics.

Saving our sarva janaangada shaantiya thoTa

sarva janaangada shaantiya toTa

rasikara kangaLa seLeyuva noTa

hindu kraistha mussalmaana

paarasika jainar udyana

(A tranquil garden belonging to all communities

Forever enticing the epicurean's eyes

Hindu, Christian, Muslim

Parsi, and Jain- a park where truly everyone prospers)

"With our heads held high and Shoulders straight, lets us all stand up and sing the state anthem" the comperer would announce and all of us, on cue, would stand in our school assembly, reciting these very same lines threaded together by the Raashtrakavi, in the same tune, with the same intonation, every Saturday, for years on end without ever bothering about what they meant.

It never really occurred to us to ask the meaning of these complex words because we never felt the need to do so. We knew what the naadageethe signified and what values it stood for. We knew what legacy the Rashtrakavi was entreating upon us to cherish and carry forward and we knew that we didn’t have to know the meaning of these lines to be able to understand and imbibe in ourselves the principles that we wanted our state to reflect.

But today... today we are standing at another time, called upon to gather at another assembly under the school of our state's destiny- and now it is more important than ever for us to once again recite these lines, renew our vows and ask ourselves- What does Karnataka mean to us? What were the ideals that we were guided by when we all chose to unite under the colours of red and yellow, where have we reached and What plans, thoughts and ideas do we have for the future of our beloved Karunaadu?

Growing up as tiny tots running around and chasing butterfly dreams in this garden of secularity, the one thought that all our minds were imbued and indoctrinated with was – Indina Makkale Naalina Prajegalu. Today’s children are tomorrow’s citizens. We would be told, in classrooms and lecture halls and seminars by teachers, leaders and elders that the destiny of our state was a gift that would be bequeathed to us at the opportune time.

And that time has now arrived. Tomorrow, for the very first time in our lives, we will be called upon to decide for ourselves what Karnataka we wish to live grow and prosper in. A weighted responsibility no doubt. And tomorrow, when we once again, filter into long queues and assemble outside government schools to exercise our franchise and decide the destiny of our state, we should take a moment and ponder upon whether the Karnataka that has been thrust upon us, a Karnataka which has been cast under the shadow of communalism, which sits and shivers under the Damocles sword of corruption and which fears the erasure of it’s language culture and community, is truly the same Karnataka singing about whose glory our hearts would swell in pride.

We were taught to embrace everyone with open arms, and today we are being made to turn against our own sisters and brothers. We were told to be honest, upright and law-abiding citizens, but today we are being made to hang our heads in shame to offer under the table commissions. We grew up being nourished by the milk of the matronly Nandini and today she faces the threat of our infidelity.

Along with all these changes, there has also been another monumental change. Nenneya makkaLu have today become naadina prajegaLu. The Karnataka of today may be a vastly different place than the Karnataka of our childhood but now we have been entrusted with the responsibility of and vested with the power to develop, design and reimagine this garden of ours. It is now in our hands to decide which seeds to sow and which weeds to plough.

"Yes, both (BJP and the Congress) have tried reaching out to us,” confirms JD(s) party senior official

After the majority of exit polls predicted a hung assembly in Karnataka, HD Kumaraswamy's Janata Dal Secular on Thursday stated that they have started feeling signs of need from the Congress and Bhartiya Janta Party. Even though Mr Kumaraswamy is in Singapore, the senior official of the party had cleared that the decision has been taken for whom we should partner.

senior JD(S) leader Tanveer Ahmed during an exclusive interview with a leading news channel said, "The decision is done. It's taken. We will announce it to the public when it is the right time to."

On the other front, the Bhartiya Janta Party has cleared that it has not reached JD(S) and continued to exude confidence about a clear mandate.

BJP's Shobha Karandlaje was also a part of the interview during which she said, "no question of coalition at all, the BJP has not contacted the JD(S)".

"We are sure to get 120 seats. After gathering information on ground from our karyakartas yesterday, we have arrived at a number -- 120," she added.

When questioned about BJP denying the fact, JD(S) stated that the party has indeed reached out for forming a joint government.

"Yes, both (BJP and the Congress) have tried reaching out to us... The JD(S) is in such a position today that parties would like to reach out to us," said Tanveer Ahmed.

"The people of Karnataka wants us to keep check on both national parties for the betterment of the state. And I don't think there's any reason why a regional party wouldn't want to work for the development of Karnataka," he added.

when asked about their choice of party to partner with, Tanveer said, "The people who are going to work for the betterment of Karnataka and Kannadigas".

Answering a question about the number of seats the party has won, Tanveer said, "Nobody can form a government without us. That's a good number, I think. We could not match the resources of the national parties in terms of money, might, muscle. We were a weak party. But we know we performed enough to be a part of the government".

The JD(S) chief is in Singapore undergoing treatment for his bad health. he took the reign of the party after party patriarch HD Deve Gowda.

Prakash Raj casts vote for Karnataka assembly election, says ‘We’ve to vote against communal politics’

Actor Prakash Raj said people of Karnataka need to ensure that the state is "beautiful" and hence must cast their votes accordingly.

Actor Prakash Raj on Wednesday cast his vote for the Karnataka assembly election and said it is time to vote against “communal politics” in the state. The actor cast his vote early in the morning in Bengaluru.

Polling for the Karnataka Assembly elections is underway, while the counting of votes will be on Saturday. The state has a total of 5.3 crore (5,30,85,566) voters who will cast their votes at 58,545 polling stations.

In an interview to ANI, Prakash Raj said people of Karnataka need to ensure that the state is “beautiful” and hence must cast their votes accordingly.

“We’ve to vote against communal politics. This is a place where you have the right to decide. Because in elections, in politics, it is the ruling party that is accountable. You know when, what you have to do, what you have suffered and what you have done. We need Karnataka to be beautiful,” he was quoted as saying.

The BJP is in a fierce electoral battle with the Congress to retain power in the state where Janata Dal (Secular) is also in the fray. On the work front, Prakash Raj has had a packed year featuring in films like Varisu, Samantha Prabhu starrer Shaakuntalam and the recently released Mani Ratnam epic Ponniyin Selvan: II, in which he played Sundara Chola.

Karnataka Assembly Election 2023 : जगदीश शेट्टार BJP छोड़ कांग्रेस में हुए शामिल

नई दिल्ली। Karnataka Assembly Election 2023 : कर्नाटक विधानसभा चुनाव के लिए विभिन्न पार्टियों ने उम्मीदवारों की सूची जारी करते ही प्रदेश की राजनीति चरम पर है। बता दें कि इस बीच टिकट न मिलने से भाजपा के कई नेता पार्टी से नाराज चल रहे हैं। इनमें से 8 बड़े नेताओं ने तो पार्टी भी छोड़ दी है। वही टिकट न मिलने के कारण भाजपा के कई नेताओं ने कांग्रेस या जेडीएस का दामन थाम लिया है। इन नेताओं में भाजपा की…

Pre-poll surveys, exit polls, and analyses of election results emerging from Karnataka have all made it apparent that the highest preference for the right-leaning BJP – which, at least symbolically, frowns upon freebies – was shown by the wealthiest and most educated segment. Preference for the left-leaning Congress and JD(S) – which campaigned on the plank of welfare schemes – increase as we proceed to the poorer and less educated segments. Three of the four districts in Karnataka where the BJP managed to win a majority of the Assembly seats are Bengaluru Urban (16/28), Dakshina Kannada (6/8), and Udupi (5/5), districts that constantly top the Human Development Index and per-capita income rankings in the state, statistics that indicate a higher concentration of the rich. Everywhere else, the Congress and the JD-S won a majority of the seats. This dissonance in the voting pattern can be attributed, at least in part, to the increasing inequality between the rich and the rest, in Karnataka and across India.

Karnataka Assembly Election Date: निर्वाचन आयोग घोषित कर सकती है कर्नाटक विस चुनाव की तारीख, आज 11.30 बजे आयोग की प्रेस कॉन्फ्रेंस

Karnataka Assembly Election Date: निर्वाचन आयोग आज सुबह 11:30 बजे कर्नाटक विधानसभा चुनाव (Karnataka Assembly Election) के कार्यक्रम की घोषणा करेगा��� कर्नाटक की मौजूदा विधानसभा का कार्यकाल 24 मई 2023 में खत्म हो जाएगा। उससे पहले चुनाव जरूरी है। पिछली बार राज्य में मई 2018 में विधानसभा चुनाव हुए थे। तब जनता दल सेकुलर और कांग्रेस ने मिलकर सरकार बनाई थी।

इसमें एचडी कुमारस्वामी मुख्यमंत्री बने थे। लेकिन एक साल और 2 महीने बाद जुलाई 2019 में कांग्रेस और जेडीएस के कई मंत्रियों के इस्तीफे के बाद सरकार गिर गई। फिर बीएस येदुयरप्पा की अगुवाई में बीजेपी ने कर्नाटक में सरकार गठित की थी।

2018 विस चुनाव का परिणाम (Karnataka Assembly Election)

वर्ष 2018 विधानसभा चुनाव (Karnataka Assembly Election) में 224 सीटों वाली विधानसभा में भाजपा ने 104 सीटें जीतीं थी। सबसे बड़ा दल होने के बाद भी भाजपा सत्ता से दूर रह गई। जेडीएस और कांग्रेस ने चुनाव बाद गठबंधन करके सरकार बनाई। बाद में कांग्रेस और जेडीएस विधायकों की इस्तीफे के कारण कुमारस्वामी सरकार गिर गई। विधायकों के अपने पाले में आने के बाद बीएस येदियुरप्पा के नेतृत्व में बीजेपी ने सरकार बनाई थी।

कर्नाटक चुनाव में भाजपा को कांग्रेस से कड़ी चुनौती

आगामी कर्नाटक चुनाव में भाजपा को कांग्रेस से कड़ी चुनौती का सामना करना पड़ रहा है, लेकिन वह प्रतिद्वंद्वियों से पार्टी में हाल ही में प्रवेश करने वालों पर भरोसा करके अपने लिए समर्थन हासिल करने की भी कोशिश कर रही है।

जबकि चुनाव के मेटा नैरेटिव प्रधान मंत्री नरेंद्र मोदी की अपील, बसवराज बोम्मई सरकार के रिकॉर्ड और महत्वपूर्ण लिंगायत वोटों को लुभाने के इर्द-गिर्द घूमते हैं, कुछ माइक्रो नैरेटिव उन नेताओं के इर्द-गिर्द घूमते हैं जो हाल तक पार्टी के लिए बाहरी थे।

कर्नाटक में ओल्ड मैसूर क्षेत्र को राज्य में वोक्कालिगा बेल्ट माना जाता है, जहां पारंपरिक रूप से मुकाबला कांग्रेस और जनता दल (एस) के बीच रहा है। दिवंगत फिल्म स्टार और कांग्रेस सांसद अंबरीश की पत्नी निर्दलीय सांसद सुमलता अंबरीश को 2019 के चुनाव में भाजपा से समर्थन मिला था, और वह विजयी रही थीं।

सुश्री अंबरीश वोक्कालिगा समुदाय से हैं और लोकप्रिय हैं। भाजपा की इच्छा थी कि विधानसभा चुनाव से पहले वह पार्टी में शामिल हो जाएं। ऐसा नहीं हुआ, लेकिन सुश्री अंबरीश ने कहा कि वह क्षेत्र में भाजपा के प्रयासों का समर्थन करेंगी। वरिष्ठ सूत्रों के मुताबिक, बीजेपी को उम्मीद है कि उनके समर्थन का इलाके की कम से कम तीन या चार सीटों पर असर हो सकता है।

2018 के विधानसभा चुनाव में भाजपा

बेंगलुरु में 28 सीटें हैं और 2018 के विधानसभा चुनाव में भाजपा ने 12 सीटें जीती थीं। 2019 में, बड़े पैमाने पर दलबदल (17 विधायक) कांग्रेस और जद (एस) के रैंकों से भाजपा में हुए। जबकि विधायक अयोग्य घोषित किए गए थे, उनमें से अधिकांश ने भाजपा के टिकट पर चुनाव लड़ा और अपनी सीटें जीतने में सफल रहे। अकेले बेंगलुरु में, कांग्रेस के चार विधायक और जद (एस) का एक विधायक भाजपा में शामिल हो गए, उन्होंने अपनी सीटें जीत लीं और भाजपा क�� 28 में से 16 सीटों पर ले गए। विधायक एसटी सोमशेखर, बैरथी बसवराज, मुनिरत्ना, के. गोपालैया और एमटीबी नागराज (जो उपचुनाव हार गए लेकिन एमएलसी बनाए गए) अभी भी भाजपा के साथ हैं और पार्टी को उम्मीद है कि वे शहर में अपनी पकड़ बनाए रखने में मदद करेंगे। एक सूत्र ने कहा, 'बेंगलुरु सीटों का एक बड़ा हिस्सा है और अगर हम अपनी पकड़ बनाए रखने में कामयाब होते हैं, तो यह निश्चित रूप से मदद करता है।'

बेलागवी प्रतियोगिता

बेलागवी जिला महत्वपूर्ण है क्योंकि इसमें 18 विधानसभा सीटें हैं और लिंगायतों की महत्वपूर्ण उपस्थिति है। यहां की लड़ाई को जो दिलचस्प बनाता है वह यह है कि यहां लिंगायत समुदाय से समर्थन प्राप्त करने वाली भाजपा अनुसूचित जनजाति के वाल्मीकि नायक समुदाय के एक पूर्व कांग्रेसी रमेश जरकिहोली को प्रोजेक्ट कर रही है। वह लिंगायत समुदाय के बीच बिल्कुल लोकप्रिय नहीं हैं। हालांकि इलाके में उनका काफी दबदबा है, लेकिन बीजेपी के स्थानीय नेताओं ने उनके खिलाफ पार्टी आलाकमान से शिकायत की है।

लिंगायत समुदाय से संबंधित विधायक लक्ष्मी हेब्बलकर के साथ श्री जारकीहोली के लंबे समय से चल रहे झगड़े ने भाजपा की स्थानीय इकाई के साथ उनके मामले में मदद नहीं की है। शिक्षा मंत्री धर्मेंद्र प्रधान, कर्नाटक में चुनाव के लिए भाजपा प्रभारी, ने पार्टी नेताओं को धैर्यपूर्वक सुना, लेकिन, महत्वपूर्ण रूप से, श्री जरकीहोली पर लगाम लगाने के लिए कोई कार्रवाई नहीं की। स्पष्ट रूप से, पार्टी को उम्मीद है कि भाजपा में पुराने नेता अनुशासन से चिपके रहेंगे और श्री जरकीहोली बेलगावी में पार्टी की किस्मत को बचा सकते.....
